In modern law enforcement, hats are not usually a required part of the uniform when on everyday street patrol, but they are still assigned.
When they are worn, it is often for practical reasons. If an officer is standing in an intersection directing traffic on a sunny day, the hat can help him visually. If he is standing in the rain securing a perimeter, it keeps his head from being rained on. Hoods on raincoats are not a good choice for officers as they really obstruct line of sight.
Also, hats are part of tradition for more formal events. The hat completes the dress uniform for another officer's funeral, a parade, or to escort a VIP.
